Definitions

  • a gravity separator and a method for separating a mixture containing water, oil, and gas.
  • the present invention relates to a gravity separator, primarily of the kind in which a mixture flowing from an oil well, containing water, oil, and gas is separated into discrete, vertically spaced water, oil, and gas layers in a separator vessel for subsequent extraction from the vessel by way of a water outlet, oil outlet, and gas outlet, respectively.
  • Gravity separators have been known for many decades and have been used within the oil industry in various embodiments of which some are quite complex, including a number of static mixers and cyclones. Examples of known types of gravity separators can be found in e.g. GB 1327991 and WO 99/25454.
  • US patent No. 5,080,802 discloses an air flotation separator having an eductor for drawing gas into the in- coming fluid. The eductor re-circulates gas collected in the uppermost section of the vessel to the incoming fluid.
  • the separator is provided with a coalescer riser tube positioned substantially in axial alignment with the axis of the vessel, and in order to obtain optimum coalescing high masses of gas, such as a gas to water ratio of about 30% is used.
  • gas flotation separator is known from US patent No. 5,516,434, and this separator is also provided with with a coalescer riser tube with filter medium.
  • a further separator for removing dispersed oil from an oil in water emulsion is disclosed in EP 0 793 987 where gas is dissolved in the inflowing water to form an aerated solution. This solution is intro- quiz quiz to the separator vessel in an assembly of closely spaced matrix plates formed of oleophilic material.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a gravity separator that performs effectively and with a relatively simple construction and suitable low gas consumption.
  • the invention relates to a gravity separator comprising a vessel within which a mixture containing water, oil, and gas can separate under gravity to form vertically discrete oil and water layers and a gas phase, the vessel having an inlet duct communicating with a vessel entrance for the mixture containing water, oil, and gas; an outlet for wa- ter; an outlet for oil; and an outlet for gas, wherein the inlet duct of the gravity separator comprises injector means injecting a gaseous medium in a volume in the range of 0.01-1.9 Sm 3 gaseous medium per 1 m 3 mixture into the mixture containing water, oil, and gas.
  • a conduit supplying gaseous medium to the injector means re-circulates gas from the gravity separator to the injector means.
  • the re-circulation of gas reduces any consumption of gaseous medium from an external source.
  • the conduit for recirculation can collect gas from a gas processing device downstream of the outlet for gaseous medium from the separator.
  • the conduit supplying gaseous medium to the injector means is connected with the interior of the gravity separator at the upper part thereof.
  • conduit supplying re-circulated gas to the injector means is the sole supply of injection gas to the injector means.
  • the injector means in the inlet duct is spaced apart from the vessel entrance with a spacing in the range of 0.05 to 2.00 m. This separation of the injector means and the entrance makes it possible to obtain a very good mix of the gaseous medium with the mixture containing water, oil and gas.
  • the gravity separator may be provided with a mixer, preferably a static mixer, in the inlet duct between the injector means and the vessel entrance.
  • the inlet duct extends from above down through the vessel to the vessel entrance where the mixture flows out into the vessel.
  • the mixer may be located in a section of the inlet duct extending within the vessel so that a very compact design is obtained.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for separating a mixture containing water, oil, and gas, which method comprises the steps of: conducting the mixture to be separated via an inlet duct and a vessel entrance into a vessel, allowing the mixture in the vessel to separate under gravity into a water phase, an oil phase, and a gas phase; taking out the water phase via an outlet for water, taking out the oil phase via an outlet for oil, and taking out the gas phase via an outlet for gas; wherein a volume of gaseous medium in the range of 0.01-1.9 Sm 3 gaseous medium per 1 m 3 mixture is injected into the mixture flowing through the inlet duct to the vessel entrance.
  • This limited volume of injected gaseous medium has proven to sustain the separation process under gravity in the vessel and reduce costs for gas supplies without impairing the capacity of the separator.
  • the water taken out of the vessel may optionally be further cleaned be- fore it is returned to the reservoir.
  • the oil and gas may optionally be further processed before it is shipped off.
  • the dimension Sm 3 is used as the volumetric unit of gaseous medium injected in relation to the volume of mixture.
  • Sm 3 is standard cubic meters of the gaseous medium.
  • Sm 3 is standardised within the offshore field (volume of dry gas at 15.6 0 C and a pressure of 101.325 kPa).
  • the volume of gaseous medium injected into the mixture in the inlet duct is limited to a volume in the range of 0.05-0.40 Sm 3 gaseous medium per 1 m 3 mixture.
  • This volume can be withdrawn from the separator and be re- circulated to injection in the mixture in the inlet duct without any exter- nal supply of gaseous medium.
  • the mixture flowing to the separator on the upstream side of the injector means has a sufficient content of gas to provide the separator with the necessary volume of gaseous medium.
  • the mixture flow between the injector means and the entrance to the vessel of course has an increased amount of gas phase.
  • a volume of 0.05-0.15 Sm 3 gaseous medium per 1 m 3 mixture is injected into the mixture in the inlet duct, and in the most preferred method 0.08-1.2 Sm 3 gaseous medium per 1 m 3 mixture is injected into the mixture in the inlet duct.
  • the pressure in the vessel may vary and be within a wide range during operation from about 0.1 atm and upwards, it is normally preferred that the pressure in the vessel is in the range of 0.5 to 200 atm, conveniently in the range 1.0-100 atm. Adjustment of the pressure to an optimal value may improve formation of the gas phase and separation of the gas from the water and the oil.
  • the mixture containing water, oil, and gas is, in one embodiment, subjected to injection with one or more separation aids.
  • separation aids are normally in liquid form and include flocculants, emulsifiers etc.
  • the gaseous medium is re-circulated, optionally after re- extraction from the gas phase. If natural gas from the oil well is used as gaseous medium, it will normally not be necessary to re-extract it, as a part of the collected natural gas may be taken out and used as gaseous medium to be injected into the mixture containing water, oil and gas.
  • the embodiment provides for a cost-effective method with minimum waste of resources. Examples of embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail in the following with reference to the highly schematic drawings, in which :
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a first embodiment of a gravity separator according to the present invention
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a nozzle system suitable for use in the gravity separator in Fig. 1.

  • the inflow of fluid mixture through entrance 4 spread itself freely into the vessel where gravity acts on the constituents in the mixture.
  • the vessel 2 is further equipped with an outlet for water 5, an outlet for oil 6, and an outlet for gas 7.
